HEAVILY REDACTED EMAILS SHOW DOJ WAS IN CRISIS MODE, SCRAMBLING TO SPIN MEETING TO MEDIA AS INNOCENT

MAINSTREAM MEDIA COLLUDED WITH OBAMA DOJ TO BURY STORY

The American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) has obtained hundreds of pages of emails, the fruits of a federal lawsuit under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA), showing that former FBI Director James Comey is guilty of lying about having no record of the infamous meeting on a tarmac in Phoenix last year between former Democrat President Bill Clinton and the then Obama Attorney General Loretta Lynch while Democrat presidential nominee, Hillary Clinton was under FBI investigation for her EmailGate scandal.

From the ACLJ statement released on Friday:

First, the Comey FBI lied to us. Last July, we sent FOIA requests to both the Comey FBI and the Lynch DOJ asking for any documents related to the Clinton Lynch plane meeting. The FBI, under the then directorship of James Comey, quickly replied that “No records responsive to your request were located.”

The statement explains that the several emails from the FBI to the DOJ about the meeting were obtained, which highly contradict Comey’s assertion that none existed and that the “DOJ talking points” (propaganda to tell the media) has been redacted — something the ACLJ will pursue in court to change. The FBI ridiculously claimed that the talking points are redacted because they apply to agency rulemaking processes, citing the “deliberative process exemption” which clearly does not apply.

According to the ACLJ report, Loretta Lynch’s propaganda team was spinning how to explain the report to the media even BEFORE they spoke with Lynch about it!

Second, the hundreds of pages of (heavily redacted – more on that below) documents paint a clear picture of a DOJ in crisis mode as the news broke of Attorney General Lynch’s meeting with former President Clinton. In fact, the records appear to indicate that the Attorney General’s spin team immediately began preparing talking points for the Attorney General regarding the meeting BEFORE ever speaking with the AG about the matter.

Furthermore, the emails indicate the members of the biased mainstream media, what we refer to (h/t: Andrew Breitbart) as the Democrat Media Complex, outlets like the Washington Post, New York Times, and ABC News colluded with the Obama DOJ to reduce the impact, if not outright bury the story. Recall that the “chance” meeting between Bill Clinton and Loretta Lynch (he was her old boss and gave her a major career break earlier in her career, so she owed him) was advertised as a discussion of “golf and grandchildren,” rather than what it likely was — asking her not to indict Hillary Clinton.

Remember, leftist media bias is not just about how stories are reported, but the ones that are ignored by the press in order to hide Democrat malfeasance (also, what they obsess over, like “Russia, Russia Russia!”).

The Obama DOJ seemed relieved that only FOX News was running with the story:

Third, there is clear evidence that the main stream media was colluding with the DOJ to bury the story. A Washington Post reporter, speaking of the Clinton Lynch meeting story, said, “I’m hoping I can put it to rest .” The same Washington Post reporter, interacting with the DOJ spin team, implemented specific DOJ requests to change his story to make the Attorney General appear in a more favorable light. A New York Times reporter apologetically told the Obama DOJ that he was being “pressed into service” to have to cover the story. As the story was breaking, DOJ press officials stated, “I also talked to the ABC producer, who noted that they aren’t interested, even if Fox runs with it.”

Two days after the meeting, DOJ officials in a chain of emails that includes emails to Attorney General Lynch herself stated that the media coverage of the meeting “looks like all or most are FOX” and that “CBS . . . just says a few lines about the meeting.”

It is now very clear that the Obama Department of Justice, led by Loretta Lynch, was nothing more than a corrupt arm of the Democrat Party, and they saw their role as obstructing justice for Hillary Clinton, who illegally used a private email server to conduct government business while “serving” as the Obama Secretary of State, then illegally destroyed over 30,000 emails that had previously been subpoenaed.

No more investigations, no more clown shows in either the House or Senate committees. It is time for people to be arrested and charged with obstructing justice. It’s time for some real justice. It’s time to get the handcuffs out. It is time to thoroughly drain the swamp of these corruptocrats and all others involved in these crimes.
